Okay, so, I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter online about nylons. Are they back? Are they out? I decided to dig in and, well, wear some myself to find out. It’s kind of funny because I remember my grandma always wearing them, but I never really did. So this was a whole new world for me.
First off, I went online to see what people were saying. And let me tell you, it’s a mixed bag. Some folks are all about nylons, saying they’re a sexy new staple, especially for the younger crowd. They are a new sexy staple – the ideal alternative to self-tanner. Others are like, “nah, they’re outdated.” Millennials and Gen X who buck the trend only do so because they can’t shake the conservative values instilled in them by their mothers and grandmothers. It’s wild how fashion can be so tied to what generation you’re from, right?
Then, I hit up some stores. I checked out all the different kinds—sheer, opaque, patterned. I even saw some in wild colors! Bold tights are in—from vibrant hues to pearly whites. While black tights are a classic style, standout tights are having a moment this year and the vibe extends from vivid reds to creamy neutrals. It was a lot to take in, honestly. I ended up grabbing a few pairs: classic black sheer, some with a little lace detail because why not, and a pair of bright red ones just to be bold.
Next, it was time to actually wear them. I put on the black ones with a simple dress for a night out. You know what? They felt kind of nice! A little fancy, even. And I got some compliments, which was cool.
But here’s the real test—I wore them to a wedding. I figured, if they can pass at a wedding, they can pass anywhere, right? Whether you are the mother-of-the-groom, a bridesmaid, or a guest, the answer is – yes, you should wear stockings to a wedding. For the most part, weddings are formal events. I went with the lace ones for this. And yeah, they worked! I felt put together and got some compliments, and they looked great in photos.
Then I saw some pictures, Coco Rocha, Paris Jackson, Nicky Hilton, were also wearing nylons on some fashion week events. And Julia Fox also has said something about it. It seems like the stars are all about them. Tights are making a chic comeback. The market is growing, especially among young women, after a period of flat sales. Once worn for modesty, they’ve become more of a statement item: Models, musicians and Hollywood starlets have made tights-as-pants a kind of fashion statement.
So, what’s the verdict? I think nylons are definitely having a moment, especially with younger folks. They can be a fun way to add something extra to an outfit. And hey, they’re comfy too, once you get used to them. It’s not just about being modest anymore; they are more like a statement piece.
My Nylon Experiment Takeaways:
- They’re Comfier Than I Thought: Seriously, they’re not just for grandmas anymore.
- Lots of Options: From basic to bold, there’s a pair for every mood.
- Wedding-Approved: If they work there, they work anywhere.
- Stars Love Them: I saw Coco Rocha, Paris Jackson, and even Julia Fox rocking them.
So yeah, I’m into nylons now. Who knew? I guess fashion really does come full circle. You might even see me in those red ones someday.
